In the summer of 2007 the Crystal Space team, together with the sponsors in Aachen again held the Crystal Space Conference. This was an excellent opportunity to meet several of the developers behind Crystal Space as well as users in person. The conference was a great success. On this page you can read reports, watch pictures and videos, and download the slides from the conference.

After last years very successful conference we are going to do it again. During 14-15th July Crystal Space developers and users are invited to Aachen, Germany for two days of interesting discussions and presentations.

Track 1 will be the 'user track' which will focus on Crystal Space from a user and game developer point of view. Our hope is to have a mix of presentations and demos from projects using Crystal Space and CEL as well as presentations and practical sessions on how to use Crystal Space, CEL, CELstart and other tools in your own project.

Track 2 will be more of a 'developer track' focusing on the future development of Crystal Space. This track will be a mix of discussions and short presentations on subjects regarding the future direction and features.
